Semaglutide Weight Loss Program

Personalized attention throughout your weight loss journey

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is considered to be the Game Changer in Assisted, Long Term Weight Loss! Semaglutide is an FDA approved prescription medication that can assist people in achieving their long-term weight loss goals. It works by reducing appetite and controlling insulin levels, helping you feel fuller for longer periods of time. When combined with the personalized support and guidance of the About Women team, you will quickly notice reaching your weight loss goals in a healthy and sustainable way.

Semaglutide is administered via subcutaneous injection and has been proven safe and reliable in clinical studies.

Key Features of Semaglutide:

  • Appetite suppression: Semaglutide helps to reduce appetite, helping you feel fuller for longer periods of time and making it easier to stick to a calorie-restricted diet.
  • Slows digestion: Semaglutide slows down the rate at which food moves through the digestive system, which can further promote feelings of fullness and reduce the desire to snack between meals.
  • Regulates blood sugar control by reducing glucose production in the liver and increasing insulin secretion.

Is Semaglutide effective?

Studies have shown that people who take weekly Semaglutide injections are able to lose 10-20% of their total body weight in a 6 to 12 month period, making it a valuable tool in helping managing diabetes and obesity.

How does our Medical Weight Loss Semaglutide program work?

The program starts with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s overall health along with a detailed review of their medical history, which assists in helping our providers determine if they are a good candidate for the program and to identify certain medical issues that may be barriers to weight loss. Once it is established that you are a good fit for the program, our About Women team will then work with you to develop a personalized weight loss plan.

In the course of 6 months our team will constantly monitor and track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. This program is designed to help you not only reach your ideal weight, but also equip you with all the tools necessary to make healthy lifestyle choices that will benefit you for years to come.
